You may have come across an
online book called Convergence, or an article on the Great Dreams site (All
About 2012 page) in which David Wilcock concludes that the 2012 end-date of the
Mayan Great Cycle is fraudulent, and the true termination point will be 2039.
THIS ARTICLE AND BOOK ARE NOW OUT OF DATE!

Wilcock's website, Ascension
2000 now states its objective, to scientifically
prove that "a
dimensional shift is to occur on Earth on or before 2012".

Convergence has now been
re-written as "The Shift of the Ages", and is available to read online
at the Ascension 2000 website. The Shift of the Ages is an attempt to find
the science and philosophy behind the Mayan 13-baktun cycle, using Cotterell's
sunspot theory as a key part of the puzzle. In Convergence, Wilcock had
concluded that the end-point should be 2039, following Maurice Chatelain's
reinterpretation of the Mayan Calendar, which was based on the conjunctions of
Jupiter and Saturn, but as he explained to me, "Now
I know that the 2012 date fits in much better, though the JS conjunctions are
definitely still important."

The Shift of the Ages is
certainly worth checking out, covering many subjects, such as Earth changes,
Superstring theory, sacred geometry, the Philadelphia Experiment, Bruce Cathie,
and Hoagland, and much more, and forms an introduction to the more
scientifically orientated follow-up, called Convergence III, which is being
uploaded as it is written. In an email, Wilcock summarised another interesting
part of his work as follows:

"... much of my work has
been in substantiating the validity of a source of channeled communications from
an entity called Ra, the set of which is known as The Ra Material or The Law of
One. Without any reference from either side to the Mayan Calendar, Ra
independently stated that the cycle change would come between 2011 and 2013, and
they gave some very precise information regarding how that works. Indeed, their
cosmological information is vast, and both Shift of the Ages and Convergence III
are dedicated to explaining it."

This channelled material is
reminiscent of the Cassiopaeans (see item 22),
using the same terms ,eg, humanity divided into 2 groups - -STO and STS (Service
To Others; Service To Self), and prefers to talk in terms of densities rather
than dimensions. See also Operation Terra.

To get a taste of the kind of
scientific evidence that Wilcock is following up, check out the article by Dr.
Aleskey Dmitriev; Planetophysical
State of the Earth and Life, (=updated
URL) about the magnetised bands of plasma through
which the solar system is passing. Wilcock claims that in 2012, we are due
for a "matter transmutation" and that, when it is finished,
Convergence III will be "the
"smoking gun" to prove that this matter shift is going to occur."

28. Kalachakra Prophecy

Have you heard a rumor
about a Tibetan prophecy connected with 2012? It is usually just a brief
reference, but in Monument to the End of Time, by Weidner and Bridges, (see item 37 and What's
New 21), we get a bit more detail:

"The Tibetan Kalachakra
contains a prophecy that 860 years after its introduction into Tibet, which
happened in 1127, the conditions would be fulfilled for a twenty five year
period that would culminate in the appearance of the Tibetan version of New
Jerusalem, the hidden city of Shamballa. Eight hundred sixty years after 1127 is
1987, and 25 years after that is 2012. These dates are also significant in
various versions of the Mayan calendar."

(Kala = Time; Chakra =
Wheel.)
I searched around on the net
and came up with the following:

f)http://www.vincentbridges.com/drstrange/stargoddess.html
: The year 1987 was also the last year of the Kalachakra calendar of ancient
Tibet, being the last of the 16 cycles of 60 years since the Kalachakra teaching
were released from the mythical kingdom of Shambala in 1027.Then I found this on Arguelles' Earth Ascending site:

I contacted Vincent Bridges to clarify the matter, and he
told me the following:"the Sakya-pa and Nyng-ma-pa
schools have different ways of calculating, and the number of rulers is
contradictory in many cases". Hence the 2 versions I had found ( a
to e above), with the "final battle" in
the reign of the 25th king in 2425 AD, or in the reign of the 32nd king in 3125
AD. However, Edwin Bernbaum, in his book, The Way to Shambhalla, has cited
"an early Tibetan source who supposedly made the
journey and returned. He quotes the even older prophecy of Padmasambhava, giving
the 5 x 12 x 16 formula". In other words, the
AMET paragraph above is flawed, and should say, "...
960 years after its introduction into Tibet, which
happened in 1027..."instead
of 860 and 1127. Jose Arguelles was inspired by the Bernbaum book, to connect
1987 into the Mayan calendar, by proposing the Harmonic Convergence of August
1987, and initially proposed the idea in his 1975 book, Transformative Vision.

Bridges says that he came up with the
25 year period himself;
"I came up with the extra 25
years idea, 5 x 5 for a round of elemental forces to bring it in
line with the Mayan."

For anyone who wishes to
pursue this matter further, Edwin Bernbaum's book, The Way to Shambhalla, is
being reprinted in December 2001.

29. Giza-Genesis: The Best
Kept Secrets

If you have been looking at the Ambilac
site, or Howard Middleton Jones' ARCHAEOLOGY
- ARCHAEOASTRONOMY - ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS, you may have been a bit
confused, and wished they would sum it all up in a book. Well, they have just
published a book called Giza-Genesis
- The Best Kept Secrets
Vol.1 , ("they" being James
Wilkie and Howard Middleton-Jones), but you may find that it doesn't cure the
confusion after all. The characters of the Old Testament have been converted
into a star chart using their age at fatherhood, and age at death, where age at
death is divided by 360, then the result is multiplied by age at fatherhood to
arrive at an angle. The same is done for the son, and so on, for 6 generations,
and the points are joined by equal-length lines. There are 4 remaining
generations until Noah, but the formula results in an angle over 360 degrees,
for the first of these - Enoch. Instead of continuing round the circle to get an
acute angle, the authors decide to go back to the Adam point and draw the line
from there. The logic breaks down further at this point, and eventually, the
reader has to take their word for it, that this diagram represents the Giza
plateau, and helps locate the hidden Hall of Records. Noah's Ark is then mixed
up with the ark of the Covenant to find that the biblical recipe for these
are really the instructions for building the Great Pyramid, and there is a
secret room accessed from the Grand Gallery, leading to a giant crystal
underneath one of the Queens pyramids of Khufu (see "Crystal
Clear"). Further contortions lead to the
conclusion that the Giza plateau is a map of the sky on 21st December 2012, when
everything goes inter-dimensional. If this is
"Crystal Clear" then I'm garnet-mica-schist! Solar
radiation"may
provide the catalyst for an ancient race of beings, lying in stasis below the
Gaza (sic) Plateau, to
awaken in time for the May 5 planetary alignment."

The authors state on page 157 that
"The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) is offset
true northby 24 feet,
or3.7142 degrees."
Then, a few lines further on, they increase accuracy by saying, "remember,
the degrees true north the pyramid is offset is
3.714285." a page further on - p.158 - they
get even more precise by saying, "The greatPyramid is offset true North (24 feet), or in
degrees,3.7142857."
Stunning precision, eh? No, its the Egyptians who were precise! In Egyptologist
Mark Lehner's The Complete Pyramids, we are told, "Khufu's
pyramid is laid out with its sides oriented almost exactly to true north - the
greatest deviation is under 5'..."
That means five minutes, not 5 feet - the actual figure is 3
minutes, 6 seconds, so the Egyptians aligned the pyramid to an accuracy of a
twentieth of a
degree from true north - that's 72 times more precise than Wilkie & Jones and
their 7 decimal places, which are then used to calculate the alignment on 21st
December 2012.

Another clue that this book is hogwash
is that in most of the Giza plateau models, the pyramid of Khafre is larger than
the pyramid of Khufu. In short, I would say this book is disinformation, to
bring the whole subject of the Mayan end-point into disrepute and make it a
laughing stock. GIZA-GENESIS: BEST KEPT A

30. Romanian Fortune-Teller

A small snippet which appeared in this morning's London
Metro 3 October 2001:

A Fortune teller is so sure he is going to die in 2012
he has bought himself a grave and a cross inscribed with the date. The
healthy 70-year-old claims to have had visions which allowed him to
calculate the year of his demise.
In 1991, Alexandru Marin saw a `big star' in
an unusual position and, a year later, a `strong
light' shone in his house. `In 2012 we will see if
I am right,' he said. A priest said his purchase had shocked residents in
the village of Branistea, Romania.

31. Profiles in Wisdom and
Legend of the Rainbow Warriors

Steven McFadden's
book, Profiles in Wisdom is back in print, together with his new book, Legend of the
Rainbow Warriors, and both relate to 2012. Steven has prepared a paragraph on
each, especially for 2012: Dire Gnosis:

Profiles in Wisdom: Native Elders
Speak About the Earth by Steven McFadden (2000, iUniverse.com). In
this highly acclaimed book, the author takes his lead from John F. Kennedyıs
Pulitzer Prize winning Profiles in Courage. But rather than focusing on
political leaders, Steven McFadden presents the stories and thinking of 17
contemporary Native American spiritual elders. As our existing culture shifts,
what to the ancient ones who have been trained in the sacred Traditions of
Turtle Island (North America) have to say? With this question and others,
journalist McFadden begins his quest to speak with contemporary native American
elders. The elders offer penetrating and poetic insight on a host of crucial
matters. Several of the elders speak directly about the time of transition
from one world to another, Mayan elder Hunbatz Men, in particular, speaks
in depth in the book about the Mayan calendars and the global shift taking place
in the years leading up to 2012. The New York Times Book Review
said: "...there are some stirring and unexpected powers unleashed in this
book."

Legend of the Rainbow Warriors, by Steven McFadden (2001, Chiron
Communications, Santa Fe, NM). This book a journalistıs account of one of
the core myths of America, and an exploration of how that myth is playing out in
real time. As drawn from dozens of historical accounts, the legend of the
rainbow warriors relates that "when the Earth becomes desperately sick
and chaotic -- socially, environmentally, and militarily -- people of all
colors and faiths will unite, and rise to face the overwhelming challenges with
insight, honesty, caring, sharing, and respect." The prophetic
teachings of the spiritual elders are skillfully juxtaposed with the key news
events of our era, and a compilation of wisdom teachings from around the world.
Legend of the Rainbow Warriors gives a detailed accounting of Harmonic
Convergence (1987), and traces the development of the impulse released at this
time as it leads onward to 2012. In essence, the book provides the full
mythic and journalistic context of the transition, and offers in-depth guidance
on balanced ways to navigate through all the storms of change.

As promised, ( Whats
New item 12 ), The Orion Prophecy by Patrick Geryl and Gino Ratinckx has
made it into print in 2001, (though December rather than October). The book is
available from Adventures Unlimited ,
but is not yet mentioned on the site, at this time (31 December 2001). However,
it is covered in the free catalogue that can be ordered from the
Adventures Unlimited site. The book
is a 324- page paperback, with illustrations,and costs $16.95 plus
postage and packing. The code for the online order from is ORP.
Warning!: Using the "ordering
information" link is OK, but when I clicked on the "download order
form" link, it was a pdf file that jammed my computer and I had to reboot
it.

In the year 2012 the Earth awaits a
super catastrophe: its magnetic field will turn over in one go. Phenomenal
earthquakes and tidal waves will completely destroy our civilisation. Europe and
North America will shift thousands of kilometres northwards into polar climate.
Nearly the whole earth's population will perish in the apocalyptic happenings.
These dire predictions stem from Mayans and Egyptians - descendants of the
legendary Atlantis. The Atlanteans had highly evolved astronomical knowledge and
were able to exactly calculate the previous world-wide flood in 9792 BC. They
built tens of thousands of mandjits and escaped to South America and Egypt. In
the year 2012 Venus, Orion and several other stars will take the same "code
positions" as in 9792 BC, the year of the previous cataclysm! For thousands
of years historical sources have told of a forgotten time capsule of ancient
wisdom located in a mythical labyrinth of secret chambers filled with artefacts
and documents from the previous flood - this book gives one possible location.

I have been lucky enough to read a
pre-publication manuscript of the English translation of The Orion Prophecy, and
have corresponded with Patrick Geryl regarding various aspects of the book. It
would be unfair to comment at this stage, until I have received and read the
final published version, but the Orion Prophecy will be reviewed here soon...

34. 2012 - The Mayan Prophecy

During November and December 2001, I
traveled around Mexico and Guatemala with my partner, Tania Woodward. In a
bookshop at Panajachel, on the shore of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, Tania
discovered a book called "2012
La Profecia Maya", by Alberto
Beuttenmuller. The book is a novel written in Spanish and the subtitle (El
Relato Apasionante Del Secreto De Una Civilizacion Asombrosa)
translates as, "It tells about
the exciting secret of an amazing civilisation".

Many thanks to John Stray for providing the
following translation of the the back cover of the book:

2012

The Mayan Prophecy

This extraordinary story,
written in the style of a novel, tells of the discovery in the Mayan ruins of
Palenque, of "Codex K", and the later discovery of the amazing
prophecy which it contains.

The Maya were guardians of
lost knowledge emanating from time immemorial. A civilization which, according
to the author, had a sacred mission: to leave to the inhabitants of this planet,
the necessary information to understand the fourth dimension.

This work tells us about the
evolutionary jump, explains the manner of development, and indicates the
time when these exciting events occurred.

The forests in which the
unusual Mayan civilization flourished, created the most perfect calendar known,
and possessed an extraordinary understanding of magic, is the point from which
the heroes of this story show us future surprises, leaving a past full of
questions.

Did the ancient Maya come from
the Pleiades? Did they deliberately end their civilization once their mission
was accomplished? Is it true that they were capable, using their precise
calendars, of foretelling the most outstanding events of the future? And the
fundamental question: Are we on the threshold of the most important period of
human history?

An intense and puzzling book
which, without a doubt, will not leave any interested reader indifferent to the
mystery of the origin of Man and his future as a species.

Alberto Beuttenmuller is a
journalist who was so impassioned by the Mayan civilization, when in 1970, he
was sent to Mexico by his newspaper, Jornal do Brasil (Journal of
Brazil). Since then, he has been dedicated to studying the mysteries of that
puzzling culture, at that time penetrating Mayan esotericism with
the help of the anthropologist Jose Arguelles, and the Mayan elder,
Hunbatz Men, the last guardian of the ancient knowledge in his village. This
story is the fruit of his investigations, which have now uncovered the hitherto
lost secret of the Maya: humanity's next step into the fourth dimension.

More on this book when I've
learnt Spanish...

35. Sunspots + Schumann
Resonance = Mass Telepathy in 2012

Jazz
Rasool gave a recent presentation at the Mysteries of the World
Conference in Marlborough, in which he pointed out that we are currently
experiencing the most active solar cycle since records began, and that the
11-year sunspot cycle has just jumped forward a year, so that the current phase
will terminate in 2012 instead of 2011 (see Whats
New item 18). He also pointed out that this is the same year as the last one
on the 5,125-year Mayan Great Cycle, and Kyoto Protocol deadline (anti-pollution
treaty).

The fact that Schumann
Resonance is rising, (see Beyond 2012 item 18),
combined with recent discoveries by the Japanese scientist,
Hiroshi Motoyama, that the frequency around psychics increases to a level
of 17 hertz, leads Jazz to the conclusion that these environmental factors will
lead to a "switching on" of some of the massive amount of genes with
officially unknown function (so-called "junk DNA"), which he calls
"Species DNA", leading to mass telepathy and telekinesis. This will be
the birth of a new species; Homo Spiritus. (Click here
for a summary of the conference - Jazz was speaker number 2; speaker 3 - Paul
Vigay - suggested that the American military are trying to counteract this
effect using HAARP).

Decades ago, Alice Bailey predicted something very
similar;

The Plan

The production of a subjective
synthesis in humanity and of a telepathic interplay which will eventually
annihilate time. It will make available to every man the true significance of
his mind and brain and make him master of that equipment and will make him
therefore omnipresent and eventually open the door to omniscience. This next
development of the plan will produce in Man an understanding - intelligent and
co-operative - of the divine purpose for which the one in whom we live and move
and have our being - has deemed it wise to submit to incarnation.

Think not that I can tell you the plan
as it truly is.

37. Astral Transition Essay
Vindicated by Non-Human ?

2012:Dire Gnosis has received
its first communication from a non-human! No, it was not automatic writing...nor
did your webmaster glaze over and start speaking in a strange monotone. The
following communication was received by email, and the author was obviously
familiar with the Astral Transition essay...

I am an Astral Traveller. A non-human. I have been
researching into the next
opening of the Gate of Heaven, when the Astral plain and the physical world
become one. The date revealed in the Prophecies in the Akashic records is
2012, but the gate will be shut in 2036. In that time, the most powerful of
humanity (spiritually and mentally) and those who's souls have awoken will
be the only survivors of the opening gates. I am currently on a mission to
reunite 4 of the most legandary and powerful aspects of life back together.
The rebirth of a creature known as Imandos by the Elves is linked in with
that of Osiris and Jesus. All 3 are the same creature I think. A being older
than time itself. I believe it is one of the Elder Gods/ Ancient ones
mentioned in the Necronimicon. Possibly Marduk.

2012 is the time when Physical bodies will no longer exist, and the Astral
form (the soul) will take its place on the physical plane, and the
dimensional shift that will take place will lift us above time.

The event that will precede the opening will involve the coming together of
the five elemental keys, three of which are already in 2 of the 4's possesion. The 4 are the 4 creations of
Tiamat, and are the only creatures
who are outside of the limits of our souls. They are almost gods. They
represent (each is represented by only 1) Courage, Power, Wisdom and
Knowledge. Each has descending power, and the 1st had so much power, He is
practically human, as He is so unstable, he wouldn't be able to survive on
the Astral.

(Taken and interpreted from the Prophecies of Light, Discovery, Life and
from records on the Gate of Heavens.)

I am

Imanrae the Traveller, the Leader of the Armies of Johr Ionus. General
Marshall of Nostor, Guardian of Elki'nirai and Student of 2 of the 4.

38. "Sixth Sun" Crop
Formation on Milk Hill

In Whats New item 6, it was predicted that
2001 would see the first 13-fold crop formations...

Your faithful webmaster has
sweated blood while producing a thorough dissection and examination of Geryl
& Ratinckx's The
Orion Prophecy, (sub-titled "Will
the World be Destroyed in 2012?") To read the
review, CLICK
HEREBriefly, the authors claim that the Egyptian Book of the Dead contains
information concerning a catastrophe that happened in 9792 BC, when the earth
stopped its rotation and started to rotate in the opposite direction, causing
the tidal wave that swamped Atlantis. The knowledge was carried to Egypt, where
the Atlantean kings became the gods of Egyptian mythology. The knowledge of the
catastrophe, and how to predict its future arrival, was encoded into the texts
which were included in the collection known as "The Book of Coming
Forth by Day" (the Book of the Dead), but it was primarily guarded for
posterity in The Labyrinth, which was purpose-built by the Atlantean descendants
as an astronomical observatory. The authors claim that the Labyrinth was not destroyed,
as claimed by the Egyptologists, but lies buried at a location they discovered
by laying a sky-map over a map of Egypt, (with Giza as the belt of Orion), and
projecting the Hyades star-group (known as "the labyrinth") onto the
ground. They hope to soon find someone to sponsor an excavation, so their
findings can be verified.

They discovered that there was a retrograde loop of Venus
in the year 9792 BC, that matches another one in 2012, and after finding
it, discovered that the phenomenon was encoded into the Book of the Dead, as an
astronomical signal that the catastrophe is at hand. (They supplied Nigel
Appleby with the loop information see
items 26-28(and Adrian Gilbert also inherited it see item 47).

In Whats new
item 28, I mentioned the Kalachakra prophecy, and its association with 2012.
Well, I have just received a copy of The Way to Shambhala by Edwin Bernbaum,
which was re-published in December, and although I haven't had time to
read it yet, I've had a skim-through. it confirms (p.16) that the
Kalacakra was introduced to Tibet in 1026 AD, when the Tibetan calendar begins;
it explains the 32 & 25 kings (p.14): the 8th king founded a second
line of 25 kings - he was 8th & first of the 25 (25 + previous 7 = 32). The
21st king assumed power in 1927 and will rule until 2027. Since each king rules
for 100 years, this means the 25th one will arrive in 2327 (p.237).
However, due to disputes over Buddha's date of death, some lamas believe the
25th (=32nd) king is ruling now
(p.237-238) ( 32 x 100 years after Buddha's death). This
last King will be the 10th and final incarnation of Vishnu who will return to
vanquish Evil, put an end to the age of discord, and inaugurate the Golden Age (p.82).
The Hindu name for this king is Kalki, while the Tibetan name is Rudra
Cakrin, and in the Golden Age, which will last at least 1000 years, there will
be no more work or fighting, and our lifespan will increase to 800 years (p.243).
The book also says that the Golden
Age will come when the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter all meet in the same quadrant as
the Tishya constellation (p.83), (which is part of Cancer). The next time this
happens is on 26th July 2014, according to my astronomical software. Free
downloads of astronomical software at:

Here is a quote from a website
revealing that Kalki is already here and the Golden Age is coming in
2012:
(click here for
the whole article):

About 15 million
people around the world think of Kalki Bhagavan as the Supreme Being who will
usher in a new age. This golden age was inaugurated on September 25, 1995, and
will be fully realized in the year 2012.The Vishnu Purana and several other
sacred texts consider Kalki to be the last incarnation/ avatara of Lord Vishnu.
He has descended nine times already (23 times in an unedited version) and the
last one for this cycle will be at the end of Kali Yuga, the present degenerate
age. Some Hindu thinkers put the beginning of Kali Yuga around 3102 BCE, and
since it is supposed to last 432,000 years (according to one reckoning), many
Hindus are not expecting Kalki anytime soon. Nevertheless, some individuals have
been identified as Kalki by their devotees. Apart from the Kalki Bhagavan ...
"Amma" or Bangaru Adigalar in Mel Maruvatur (Tamilnadu) has also been
identified by his followers as Kalki.

The traditional Hindu model of the yugas runs into
the billions of years, yet Sri Yukteswar, in The Holy Science, puts forth a
different model based on a 24,000-year cycle. Like the Mayans, he claims that
this cycle has to do with the journey of our solar system around another
sun. He also speaks of a much longer revolution of our sun around some
kind of "grand center", similar perhaps to what the Mayans understood
as "Hunab Ku".

Others
would say that this is not possible. That the old calendars say that the Golden
Age won't "be here" for thousands of years. Currently there is heated
debate in India as some experts have claimed to have found errors in the ancient
calendars. This puts the date of the Golden Age very close to the end of the
Mayan calendar.TheGolden
City site (UPDATED)
explains that Kalki only needs to enlighten 60 thousand people in order to start
a chain reaction, since he is a Mukti-Avatar:

Secondly, there are
now very powerful spiritual energies engulfing the Earth coming from the center
of the Universe. These energies are meant to make mankind enlightened, but
somehow the process is not starting off as it was supposed to. So Kalki can give
and transform these energies to anyone now, but only until 2012. If 60 thousand
have become Enlightened before this, he can help man getting enlightened. If
later, the negative powers will take over and we have missed this very rare
chance. The future will not at all be nice if man will not transform fully in
the near future.

Hunbatz Men,
a Mayan Elder and Daykeeper, who has published several books, a Mayan calendar
wall-chart (Haabs & Tzolkin), and videos including one called Centros
Initiaticos Mayas 2013, (about pyramid secrets & the "new
cycle" which is sadly, only available in Spanish), held an 8-day course in March 2002, called
"Initiation in the Cosmic Mayan Healing for Humankind", that was
announced as follows:

The
return of the planet TZOLTZE EK', or NIBIRU in Sumerian, is to be formally
revealed and taught for the healing of our Great Mother Planet Earth -
during this most significant Spring Equinox Initiation in Merida, Yucatan
and at powerful ceremonies to be held at the sacred Mayan sites of Uxmal,
Chichen Itza, and Oxk'Intok HUNBATZ MEN, Mayan Elder and Daykeeper of the
ancient Mayan Calendar knowledge, invites us to participate and experience
this awakening and healing of ourselves and our planet as we fulfill the
Mayan Prophecies as foretold by the ancients. Elder Hunbatz Men will
teach us the 26,000-year Cosmic Mayan Calendar, showing its relationship with
the Pleiades and the Mother Earth and the role it now plays in the major
changes taking place on our Sacred Planet.He will also be giving certification to attendees as Mayan
Initiates to teach this Sacred Mayan Knowledge worldwide.

Bob
Buck has written an essay concluding that every 13,000 years, Earth goes
through a "naked singularity", or merging of dimensions. Signs of this
are, the planets losing their magnetic fields; Jupiter's red spot changing its
direction of rotation in 1986-87; that the sun is losing its polarity, but also
that there has been a shifting of the spectrum in the Auroras and rainbows, like
a red shift in the other direction - a kind of violet shift. This shows that a
powerful magnetic field is the cause - the "naked singularity",
that will probably upset the Oort cloud and cause more comets to divert from
their usual orbits. A 23- degree axis shift back to its position perpendicular
to the ecliptic may also be on the cards.

DMT: The Spirit Molecule - A Review

The Mayan
shamans ingested psychedelic mushrooms, and venom from a poisonous toad as
part of their technique to travel to the underworld, or Xibalba. These both
contain psychoactive tryptamines such as psilocybin,
psilocin & DMT. *
As we know, they also devised a calendar consisting of 260 Katuns that
terminates in 2012 AD. Terence and Dennis McKenna, while in the Ecuador
rainforest, ingested the very same mushrooms, containing tryptamines, that the Maya had
used.** They then de-coded the 26-level temporal hierarchy of Timewave
Zero from the I-Ching, and found that the termination point was in 2012 AD.
DMT plus hallucinogenic beta-carbolines are chemicals that are also made inside your own brain, in the pineal gland, ***
which is associated with the Third Eye of Eastern Mysticism. The
pineal gland converts melatonin to make
DMT, and it has been found that crop
formations can induce increased levels of melatonin in people who spend time
in them. All this seems to point to the possibility that the forthcoming
"evolutionary quantum leap" expected at the end of the year 2012 will
be caused by a mass-triggering of DMT production in humanity. *The
toad-venom contains 5-MeO-DMT, which is also found in the human brain;
Stropharia cubensis mushrooms contain psilocybin, a tryptamine
(composed of an indol group and a dimethylamine chain). **The mushroom that the McKenna brothers took
was the Stropharia Cubensis mushroom; the major psychoactive ingredient of which
is Psilocybin, otherwise known as 4-phosphoryloxy-DMT, not simply DMT. However,
they followed up by smoking the bark of Banisteriopsis caapi, an "maoi"
(monoamine oxidase inhibitor). They described the result as follows:
"Alteration of monoamine oxidase (MAO) levels through the smoking of B.
caapi bark after ingesting mushrooms is the closest approximation to smoking
synthetic tryptamine (DMT) that we have found in nature." (Invisible
Landscape 1993 edition, p.112)
***
Regarding the pineal gland, Strassman
presents substantial evidence for an essential function in DMT production and
assimilation (perhaps supplanting the previously demonstrated synthesis of DMT
by blood, brain, and lung).

Caroline
Taylor has prepared a review of DMT: The Spirit Molecule exclusively
for 2012: Dire Gnosis, and
has included a dialogue between Rick Strassman and herself, in which she asks
his opinions regarding McKenna, the Timewave, and John Mack's work with alien
abductees.

I have just
discovered a new page on the Dutch Lightworkers
Tempel site, which corroborates the DMT/mushrooms connection to 2012 (original
format & spelling preserved):

Our
Awakening.....My partner and I took some Magic Mushrooms,and what should have been a fun trip, turned out into a Vision of the Future. It Woke us up and pulled us out of the Old World for once and for good......

We also received
a date, like a programmed endingpoint, or beginning... 2012 . this is the
moment where Time and therefor also space will fall apart, and we will
remain with only our spirit.(energy) And it isn't anything dramatic, because at that point you
will realize, the body is only a blockage,it cannot deal with the speed,and you will want to be
released from it...

46. Salvia
Divinorum and 2012

I recently received an email
from Charlie Sabatino, who lives in Mallorca, Spain, revealing a connection
between Salvia divinorum, and 2012. Salvia divinorum, or Diviner's Mint, is
widely thought to be the "divine plant" of pre-conquest Mexico,
called in the Nahuatl language, "pipiltzintzintli". The Mazatecs still
use it today. Here is an extract from Charlie's letter:

To make a long story short:

I took some strong drugs (salvia
divinorum) and "heard" that I was to write a screenplay called 2012
(I'm a writer). I grabbed a pen and then started scribbling whatever came into
my mind; it was like taking dictation. Below are the highlights, condensed
from 6 pages. The parenthetical remarks represent my former knowledge on
these subjects.

--Mayan calendar (my wife hosted a
seminar once on this)

--calling of UFOs through Taliaots
and monoliths (we have Taliaots where I live--Mallorca, Spain)

--The advance to a higher
vibration (Ra material--I've researched this a little)

--importance of light and
fire-Fire existing as another dimension (my wife had a dream that said this)

--the use of channeling to get
messages from spirits (my wife is a channeler)

--the use of herbs to alter gene
structure for telepathy (I had, after all, eaten these leaves)

--Telepathy, visions and dreams
(we all know at least a little about these)

--Albuquerque, NM (I've been there
before)

--Languages: The Babel Project (no
idea what this is)

--Dream Theory in Malaya (music I
randomly chose)

--the use of heat from the sea (no
idea)

--Nietzsche's theory of a Great
Health, Zarathustra (just a renewed interest)

--Love and extraordinary acts of
charity (more Ra material)

Geoff, I was a really normal guy
once. Italian butcher's son from the Bronx, NY. I didn't ask for any of
this...I blame my wife.

I did an internet search, and found several Babel
projects, such as a multi-language data-base, and software developments
for multi-lingual conversion of computer games. I also discovered that
Finland is a main producer of indigo
pigment, used in many products, including printer ink. It comes from the leaves
of the woad (or wode) plant, and was used as a body paint for battle, by
(either/or) Picts and Celts. It is also hallucinogenic.

Charlie has started work on the screenplay and will let us
know when it is completed.

Overviewing ,Terence Mckenna - his destiny, Martin
Prechtel and the nature of language, Psilocybin, DMT, their relationship to
2012, and the observations of Rick Strassman MD. What is the meaning of
information overload in 2012?

48. 2011

I have discovered 3 books
about the year 2011 in the last month, and these are called 2011
The Evacuation of Planet Earth; 2011
The New Millennium Begins, and The
Year 2011 (see 2012
Books page). Does this mean that Carl Calleman's theory (see Jenkins/Calleman
debate) that re-positions the end-date of the 13-baktun cycle to October 28th
2011, is catching on? I haven't had time to read the books yet, but have scanned
the first 2, (written in 1998 & 1997 respectively, which means they pre-date
Calleman's theory).

In the first of these 3
books, 2011 The Evacuation of Planet
Earth,a
novel; the Doomsday asteroid struck approximately 5 years prior to August 4th
2011 when the narrator records the event in his diary; an axis shift
occurred sometime around mid-November 2011, & took less than a minute
for the earth to tilt another 40 degrees. However, there was no spiritual
evolutionary leap in the novel; the (approx. 144,000, of course) survivors were
rescued by UFOs and taken to another planet, and Earth was re-colonized 700
years later.

In the second book, 2011
The New Millennium Begins, based
on the authority of "the Source" - a group from the 5th dimension, we
are warned to be discerning in acceptance of channelings and prophecies, since
many are distortions originating from the "Dark Forces" of the 4th
dimension. However, it is claimed in the preface, that "the
Mayan calendar ends in September 2012",
when, it occurs in December 2012, as we know. Also in the preface, we are told,
"The upswing began on August 31, 1987 with the Harmonic Convergence",
when the Harmonic Convergence actually occurred on August 16th and 17th 1987,
(see John Major Jenkins here
and here for the facts
behind Harmonic Convergence). We are also told that we entered the Photon Belt
in 1987, and will be in it until 2013 (see this
link and this one,
for the story of the Photon belt myth). As for where the 2011 date came from, as
used in the book title; it is only referred to vaguely: "The
period 2001 - 2011 heralds a a major sorting-out",
and "the old Piscean behavior
patterns will not work after the year 2011"
- and we are left to presume that it came from "the Source". Well, my
discernment has detected faults in this transmission, and therefore, it is
disqualified by its own rules, therefore, Source = Dark Force...hmmm very
Gnostic...

The third book, The
Year 2011, is a compilation of chanelings, including (and I''m not making
this up), "St Germaine"; "John the Revelator"; "Dr
Rayness of the Council of 48"; "Paulson from the Pleiades";
"Grand Commander Astor"; "Dr See-ven"; "Dr Norman
Watson"; "Valiant Thor from Venus"; "Ashtar";
"Pharaoh Cheops"; and "Dr. Wah"(..."a
right mottley crew", I hear you say, but be careful...they might not let you on
their flying saucer...)

So, as there's no evidence of these authors being influenced
by Carl Calleman, we can only presume that the influence comes from the Hopi
prophecy (see item 7), apart from the channelings,
which may themselves, be subliminally influenced by the Hopi prophecy. I
have proposed in the addendum, that the origin of the 2011
Hopi end-date is due to confusion over time-correlation due to the missing "year
zero"in the Gregorian calendar.

So, is Carl Calleman's system catching on? At Cancun.com,
we find Calleman's theory explained, but without the 2011 end-date (but with
a little confusion). Also at Lightworkers
Tempel, we find more of Calleman's theory, but again, the 2011 end-date is
not found to be essential to the basic ideas. In a recent email, Carl told me
that he had discovered that the Hindu Avatar, Kalki (who says the Golden Age
will begin in 2012 - see Whats New 40 above), was born on
the Mayan Tzolkin day of 13 Ahau. He decided to go to visit Kalki in India, to
see if he could convince him that the current cycle ends on his birthday 13 Ahau, 28th
October 2011.

On his return, Carl told me the following (about Kalki):

He thinks that in the year 2012
it will be possible for people to become enlightened on a massive scale, but
some time after that point it will no longer be possible to attain that state.
Thus, it is urgent that people now set a course towards enlightenment. He does
not base these ideas on physical cycles but on light radiations from the center
of the universe that he refers to as Mu-Lam, meaning that I feel there is no
contradiction between his and my own view although the terminology differs. He
emphasizes the year 2012 rather than 2011, but I am also open to the possibility
that changes will take place after Oct 28, 2011, but then more like if things
are adapting to and settling down as an effect of the non-dualist consciousness
of the Universal Cycle (Enlightenment) that is finally established at that date
than as a continued wave movement of energies such as those that will rule until
then.

Carl is now intending to
present Kalki's teachings on enlightenment to a European audience.

49.
Self-Transforming Machine Elves

Terence McKenna has described
the denizens of the DMT realm, as "self-transforming machine-creatures who
are squealing and squeaking in a visible glossalalia that falls like rain on the
interior landscape." They have the appearance of jewel-encrusted
basketballs, and communicate by morphing
objects out of themselves, that look like Faberge
eggs!

Is this what happens if
you smoke too much DMT?

50. Maori
Elders on 2012

I recently discovered the following on the AboveTopSecret.com
discussion forum. It was posted in December 2001 by a New Zealand Maori, (whose
web-name is "alien"), as a response to a request for any information
on the Mayan "end-of-the-world prediction" for 2012.

Well...don't know about the Mayan
Calendar...but I know that there are some old Maori (culture I belong to)
legends that speak of the reunification of 'Rangi' (the Sky) and 'Papa' (the
Earth).

This one basically flows on from a Maori Creation Legend. Anyway, in short,
Rangi (the Sky) and Papa (the Earth) were partners and were closely clasped
together...they had a number of children, who lived in between these two
parents, squashed and without light. One day these children (who were all Gods
by the way - God of the Wind, God of the Sea, God of War etc etc) decided to
push their parents apart so they could have room to move...they all tried and
failed, till one of the Gods, Tane, pushed them apart, separated them, and hello
- there was light.

Basically the other more secretive legend that follows on from this says that
there will come a time when the children of Tane (that's you and me) are so
busy, so distracted with fighting, with greed, with lust etc, so separated from
our original parents (Rangi and Papa - so that kinda means we have lost our
links with the natural order of things) that Rangi and Papa will take that
opportunity - while no one is looking - to quickly come back
together...destroying everything in the process. There has been much meditation
done on this event and yep...2012 seems to be the year the old people are coming
up with.

A second post continued...

I also forgot to mention this other bit in my haste to get to work earlier:

I have asked a few of the 'kaumatua' (tribal elders) what they see happening in
2012. One said "Ka hinga te arai"...the rest nodded and agreed. Okay,
I'll explain what that means...

hinga = to fall arai = curtain

those are the modern interpretations of those two words in what he said to
me...so basically he said "The curtain will fall". Okay - I thought
about that for a while, thinking about what he meant...and I originally deduced
he meant like "Final curtain" end of the world sorta thing. That was
until I did a bit more digging into the origins of those two words. Ya
see...modern Maori is just like modern English...it changes over time, the means
of words alter and get reinterpreted as time goes by.

This kaumatua (elder) is an 'old school' Maori...knowledgeable in the ancient
ways, the old ways, the old original language...or 'tuturu Maori' as it is
called, which basically means 'original Maori. So anyway, in original Maori,
those two words (hinga and arai) mean slightly different things.

'arai' is the main word there to look at. Okay, when people die, Maori say they
have gone 'ki muri i te arai'...they have gone 'behind the veil'...passed over
so to speak. So in that sense, 'arai' actually means like a 'separator' between
the physical world/plane and the spiritual world/plane.

So - 'ka hinga te arai' in old Maori means (as closely at it can interpreted in
English) The removal/dissolving of the planes separator...basically the MERGING
of the physical and spiritual planes.

There - just a bit of an old Maori cultural lesson to get ya mind ticking over.

Peace,
ALIEN

51. Aetherius Society &
2012

I recently received an email from Peter H.
Daley, that included the following:

My contribution is based on the occult knowledge received from George King
and The Aetherius Society. Although the significance of the 2012 predictions
is not denied, prophecies of cataclysmic earth changes have been changed as
a result of metaphysical operations required to usher in New Age conditions,
and the release of the Earth Logos from the self-imposed restrictions, which
were necessary for our continued existence as a recidivist race of humanity.
And so, as a result the speeding up of the vibrational character of the
planet is increasing, and as the rate increases a crescendo is expected in 2012, or thereabouts.
One of the reasons for the Mayan calendar ceasing at this date, was the
anticipated awakening of an entity dormant in the planet for a million
years, to eliminate human life. This was only prevented by certain Cosmic
Adepts, and who had to deal with a number of other threats which could have
wiped us out. The latter part of last century was indeed a very tricky
period. Some of this info. is to be found on my
website, together with book refs.

A second email provided more
information:

I can offer some new insights into
this problem. There is no doubt that in the minds of all studying the weird
and
wonderful,
the problem presented by "2012" takes the cake, only the UFO and
the Aliens can compete in this. I am steeped in the ancient lore of Theosophy, and am
privileged in
having access to New Age occult information as an extrapolation of that from
Blavatsky and A. Bailey, through George King, who I knew personally.
Regarding the number Seven, this is the foundation of the
Metaphysical Cosmos, of which this material universe is only as a thin
veneer. Each numbered level of existence is in ready communication with the
like in higher octaves, by virtue of their resonating vibrations. It is very
complicated and marvellous, the Earth exists on 49 different levels, which
means there are actually 49 planets occupying the same space. If some predictions are to be believed, 2012 will shift to a higher version of
Earth, which leaves much to think about. There is more to it
than that, because conditions have been so
modified by Metaphysical Operations, that things have been brought
forward 52 years, in some respects. The old prophecies have been cancelled
or
severely altered, so that we can forget the end of civilisation being due.
Nevertheless, the end of the Mayan calendar at 2012 foresaw something which
which was about to happen, and we narrowly missed the extinction 52 years
before the due date. Thereby lies a wonderful and strange saga vying with
science fiction, and required "outside" help.

The human race is
very ancient, some elements were here
18 million years ago, but our particular strain came here around 4 million
years ago,
having destroyed our previous planet and is now the asteroid belt.
Unfortunately, the same lot brought its recidivist elements. These made
history
repeat itself in a series of conflicts, two of which were atomic and
produced
mutations and lapses into barbarism for thousands of years. The result
being a failure
to evolve in co-ordination with The Earth Logos.

Nostradamus only made one
unambiguous prediction in which he clearly identified the year in question. It
is the oft-quoted 10-72, which is usually translated something like this:

In the year 1999 and seven months, from
the sky will come the great King of Terror. He will bring back to life the great
king of the Mongols. Before and after Mars (war) reigns happily (by good
fortune).

If there is anything to Nostradamus'
prophecies, then surely this quatrain must be a major key. However, when
nothing happened in July 1999, some said the prophecies were of no use. Others
said that "sept mois" meant the original seventh month - September.
Nothing happened then either.

One Nostradamus site, now unavailable
(previously at http://members.nbci.com/centuries/future.html)
suggested that the prophet was predicting the timing of a war, and that
fortunately, (since it would make it worse), Mars would reign before & after
but not during the war:

"when the Kingmaker
Saturn leaves the sign of Mar's rulership on April 10, 1996, and returns to a
sign of Mars' rulership in Scorpio, in the year 2012. This scenario would time
this war as starting sometime after the year 1996, and ending sometime before
the year 2012". However, this interpretation
gets "war" and the planet "Mars" from the same word
(Mars).

Another point made here is;

Sometimes
in the numbering of the quatrains Nostradamus gives us a further clue. Very
often he gives us at least two numbers of the date an event happens, and in some
cases, he gives us three numbers of the date. This quatrain is numbered
10-72. So here, he could be giving us three numbers, 1, 0, and 2. - this could
very easily refer to the date 2001 or 2012. The 7 could be a clue as to the
"7th month."

JOHN
HOGUE

Prophecy
scholar, John Hogue, in his book, Nostradamus - The
Complete Prophecies, finds several quatrains to
have a possible 2012-connection. Some of these connections are made as in the
suggestion above, which links the number of the quatrain to the date of the
prophecy. The quatrains in question are as follows:

1:52,
which is linked to October 2012 ("the two evil influences in conjunction in
Scorpio = conjunction of Mars & Saturn in Scorpio).

2.12,
links to 2012 via the quatrain number.

5.78,
mentions a 13-year period that Hogue connects to either the appearance of
Halley's comet in 1986, or that of comet Hale-Bopp in 1997, which, when 13 years
are added, render the years 1999 and 2010 - "closer to the end of time as
we know it" (2012).

6.24,
a conjunction of Mars and "the sceptre" (Jupiter) (in Cancer?) means
April - May 2011, says Hogue, (near the end of the Mayan calendar).

9.12,
links to 2012 via the quatrain number.

9.55,
a conjunction of Mercury, Mars and Jupiter again refers to April - May 2011.

Every four years an
asteroid named Toutatis passes uncomfortably close to the earth. This elongated
rock -- which measures nearly a mile across -- also possesses another feature of
interest: it rolls end over end in a tumbling motion. It is the only near-earth
planetoid that behaves in this manner, eerily similar to the
"mountain" that "rolls along" in Quatrain 1.69.

If Toutatis is the
asteroid predicted by Nostradamus, it will smash into the Aegean or Ionian sea
part-way through the reign of Hieron (anagram of Chiren).

Evidence
in the Epistle to Henry II and the quatrains place Chiren's rule as king and
later as emperor in the 2002 - 2012 period.

Although
Toutatis will be very close to earth in 2004, it does pass Earth in 2012. McClellan
also finds evidence in Nostradamus' quatrains, that China will abandon communism
in December 2012, and Prince Edward will be made second emperor of Europe.

Here
is the sequence of the events supposed to occur between the period 1999 and
2012, based on the quatrains of Nostradamus and similar prophecies of other
people.

On a page called Nostradamus
1999-2012 AD on the escape666.com site, a Fundamentalist Christian - Pastor
Harry of the Church of Philadelphia, says Nostradamus was
"Satan's Prophet", who "seems
to show us a Window of Time SEPT 1999 -- 2012 AD when The
RAPTURE will happen so He can bring forth Antichrist onto the
world scene".

A
third site, King Of
Terror quotes the 10:72
quatrain (see above), then says,

So
warns Nostradamus in quatrain X.72,
and thus heralds in the commencement of a window of prophecy originating from
many cultures, religions and traditions which runs 1999
- 2012".

There is a book out in German, by Manfred Dimde, whose title translates as
Nostradamus.
The Apocalyptic Decade. The Crucial Years Until 2012. I haven't read it, so
I don't know if he's actually found anything convincing. Is everyone desperately
trying to find a way of decoding a 2012-prediction from Nostradamus' quatrains,
or are we still missing something? So far, I'm totally unconvinced.

PHOBOS

After the seventh month of
1999 came & went, some realized that, although the prophecy mentioned the
seventh month, the calendar has since been adjusted by 11 days (when it was
converted from Julian to Gregorian), which brings the date forward from 31 July
1999 to August 11 1999, the date of the solar eclipse over Cornwall, UK. In
fact, Nostradamus is said to have explained in a letter to Henri II of France
that he was talking about an eclipse. Some said (see Beyond
2012 item 30) that since "Phobos means Terror", that one of the
moons of Mars - Phobos - would be released from its orbit by the
gravitational effects of the eclipse and the "Grand Cross" conjunction
a week later on 18th August 1999 (see diagram at Beyond
2012 item 21). The Millennium Group reported "shadows
are also seen crossing the face of the earth at a nearly right angle to the
moon's shadow".

Nothing more was heard on the
matter of Phobos until July 2000 when James van der Worp and Glen Deen
suggested that the fly-by of comet 76P on June 5 2000 shunted Phobos out of
orbit and onto a collision course with Earth. Deen calculated September 18th
2012 as the projected time of impact (see Whats New item
4).

I have just discovered an
article that claims there is a connection between the 2 failed Mars missions and
the fly-by of comet 76P. Solar flares and dust-storms on Mars were triggered.
The last public pictures of Phobos and Deimos (the Greek names of 2 moons of
Mars, sometimes translated as Panic and Fear) are from August 1998, and, to cut
a long story short, there is evidence that they are already
orbiting Earth! They are only 10 miles and
5 miles in diameter, respectively, and are said to have been asteroids captured
into a Martian orbit. Is there a covert operation being mounted to blast the
Martians out of the sky?

You may recall the Bible code
prediction (see Beyond 2012 item 10) that there
will be a collision between a "comet" and Earth in 2012, and that the
comet will be "crumbled". At the
Chapel Perilous site, they have found that the code also conceals a
previously undiscovered element, which they call "The Mars Code".
Until now, it sounded fairly nonsensical, because the author concludes that the
"comet" is actually the planet Mars! Thus, it will be "Mars"
that is destroyed in 2012 when it passes near the Earth.

However, in light of the
information above, "Mars" could just as easily refer to one of the
small Martian satellites, Phobos, or Deimos.
